We've seen a parade of reporters, Harry Connick Jr. and Jessie Jackson all go to the civic center and talk about the starving and dying people. It reminds me of a thing that some comedian said.(I think it was Bill Engvall) He was talking about seeing reporters beside a starving child in Africa and all he could ever think was that he wanted to tell the reporter to put that camera down and give that baby a sammich.

How come none of these people didn't just turn around and go fill up their trucks with food and water and go back right then and there? Am I wrong here? Wouldn't all of you do the same thing? Even if you couldn't bring enough for everyone in the first load wouldn't you keep going back? This is something that puzzles the hell out of me.

http://www.illwillpress.com/kat.html has a flash rant that goes along with that thought. Not censored; don't use the audio loudly at work.
